The LoL Patch 25.19 is finally here, which means we will have access to most things we will see at Worlds 2025. The new patch has several champion changes, as well as other interesting buffs and nerfs that we’d like to cover, so let’s begin. It’s been a few week since the LoL Patch 25.18 came out, so let’s see what’s new.

League of Legends Patch 25.19 – Brawl Is Back
The latest LoL patch decided to bring back Brawl as “a tool in helping new players from League”. Its goal is to help get players into teamfights so that they can learn faster about everything without needing to go through all mechanics. It will be interesting to see if it will make a difference.
LoL Patch 25.19 – Champion Changes
The latest League of Legends update features a couple of interesting champion changes. We recommend skimming through the full changelog, but here are some of the more interesting names and everything new around them.
- Brand – it seems like Riot thought Brad is “a little weak”, especially in certain roles/ That is the reason why the hero received several buffs. Starting with his passive, Blaze now has a 2.65x monster damage modifier instead of 2.6x. Pillar of Flame (his W) now deals 75/120/165/210/255 (+70% AP) instead of +60 AP. Pyroclasm does 100/175/250 +30 AP instead of +25%.
- Draven – another Lol Champion that 25.19 buffed. His Blood Rush will give more attack speed, whereas his ult (Whirling Death) will do slightly more damage.
- Jinx – this is one of those champions that is missing from pro play and Riot was hoping to change that. Her Q now has a bigger bonus range early on, and her E deals more damage.
ARAM Balance Changes
Another thing that is new in the League of Legends Patch 25.19 is the ARAM balance changes. Riot decided to enhance each champion’s key spells and make them easier to execute. The company also added changes to certain items and made them feel more worth picking.
Arena
Since Riot added the Arena a few patches ago, it has become incredibly successful. That’s why we are not surprised that the League of Legends Patch 25.19 brings a few changes to it:
- The FK warning timer will now be 100s instead of 70s.
- Players who “issue any input during a combat round” will be safe for that round. The AFK detection timer will not start until the combat round is over.
Alongside these two changes, Riot also added various bugfixes. You can learn more about them by checking the full changelog.
Skins
As always, Riot also has something to say about the skins. There are three new options that we will have access to:
- Arcana Zilean
- Arcana Karthus
- Arcana Aurora
Alongside these three, we will also have three chromas for these champions.
Of course, we must also share some words about the MVP Worlds Winner Prestige Skins. The 25.19 LoL patch will add Faker’s signature to Sylas, and we will see an update on the Prestige DRX Aatrox and Prestige T1 Jayce. The idea is that every MVP skin will have the player’s mark.
Bugfixes and Quality of Life Changes
Alongside everything mentioned so far, the newest League of Legends Patch 25.19 also comes with a lot of bugfixes. We won’t go through all of them, but we want to highlight the two QoL updates.
The first one is that players can now select which ward skin to use in the Swiftrplay champ select modal. As for the second one, La Illusion chromas are now a part of the Mythic Shop Weekly rotational pool.
